Fender Coronado Archtop Electric Guitar

SPECIAL EDITION SERIESFrom resurrected favorites to outlandish new creations, limited-run Special Edition instruments are specimens of fine Fender craftsmanship, and each one proves that great tone knows no limits.

THE CORONADO HAS RETURNEDFor the guitarist who appreciates a fabled Fender instrument with a special history, the Coronado guitar is back with greater sound, build and beauty than ever. In the mid-to-late 1960s, the Coronado family was Fender’s first foray into the hollow-body electric guitar world. Now the Coronado name and style have returned in an utterly cool Modern Player model with stunning looks, tone and features, including a thin semi-hollow body with stylish binding and bound f holes, special humbucking pickups, distinctive headstock, vintage-style bridge/tailpiece and much more. The return of a true Fender original.

SEMI-HOLLOW MAPLE BODY WITH ALDER CENTER BLOCKA big part of this instrument’s resonant tonal character comes from its semi-hollow maple body, which improves on the original design with an alder center block for more sustain and less susceptibility to feedback.

FIDELI’TRON™ PICKUPSThe well-rounded, sweet and distinctively jangly tone of this guitar comes from its dual Fideli’Tron humbucking pickups, which deliver a great vintage-style look and fantastic Fender sound.

CLASSIC CORONADO SHAPE WITH DUAL F HOLESJust like the original models of the 1960s, this guitar is built with the classic Coronado semi-hollow double-cutaway design, which includes the elegant touch of dual f holes for an even more refined look.

ADJUSTO-MATIC™ BRIDGEAmong its other highly individualized design elements, this instrument features an Adjusto-Matic bridge for notable string placement and tuning stability, and the added benefit of an authentically vintage-style look.

BOUND TOP, BACK AND NECKLike its 1960s ancestors, the Coronado guitar features the refined high-end touch of attractive binding on the top, back and neck.

MODERN NECKThis instrument features a stylish and great-feeling modern neck with a comfortable “C” profile (the shape of the neck in cross section), smooth-playing finish and fingerboard, and convenient adjustability for periodic maintenance. The latest in smooth Fender playability.

It has all the deluxe features of the NJ series Warlock and now features the revolutionary new Floyd Rose SpeedLoader tremolo bridge on all models. The SpeedLoader and it's accompanying string design allow a complete set of strings to be changed in less than one minute by eliminating the need for tuning pegs, wrenches, string stretching, or major retuning.

Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 1, HH Floyd Rose Electric Guitar

Southern California is a hotbed of guitar innovation, from new musical styles and sounds to hot-rodded high-performance guitar designs. The Charvel® Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 2H FR, the ideal instrument for dazzling high speed playing, was born and raised in this sunny environment. With scorching sound, stunning style and grin-inducing playing feel and performance, this guitar was meant to be onstage.

A top-notch performer that’s tweaked with the features modern players need, this axe sports hot-rodded high-output Seymour Duncan® JB™ and Seymour Duncan® '59 humbucking pickups directly mounted to the body that crank out high octane rock ‘n’ roll tone with plenty of sweet overtones. The volume control conceals a push/pull coil split to have even more tonal variations on tap while the No-Load tone control operates like a standard tone control from positions one through nine, removing itself from the circuit at position ten for transparent sound, letting the full natural voice of the guitar shine through. Dive to rumbling depths or add a well-placed rising harmonic without sacrificing your tuning with the Floyd Rose® FRT-O1000 double-locking recessed tremolo and FRT-O1000 locking nut—simultaneously grooving on the laser-accurate intonation. The two-piece maple neck hosts 22 jumbo frets along with a pair of graphite reinforcement rods to resist bending and warping under environmental stresses. The speed neck profile is designed for lightning fast playing and completely unhindered position shifts while the comfortably rolled fingerboard edges provide the broken-in feel of an instrument with plenty of playing miles on it, and plenty more to go.

Charvels are designed with style in mind—after all, they call it show business—and with striking finishes and curves in all the right places it's sure to dazzle the audience’s eyes. A Charvel neck plate, branded die-cast tuning machines and standard strap buttons complete the package, topped off with a spotlight-ready finish that shrugs off the rigors of the road. Ready to spawn waves of sonic bliss, and able to keep up with the most demanding playing, the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 2H FR is a guitar that will stand the tests of time and stage.

Charvel Pro Mod San Dimas Style 1, HH Hard Tail Electric Guitar

The birthplace of many legendary guitarists, Southern California is also home to one of the original innovators of high performance guitars—Charvel®. Combining versatile tone and eye-catching style with breakneck performance and ultra-slick playability, the tricked-out Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH HT was born to rock under the spotlights with head-banging, fist-pumping Sunset Strip style.

Decked out to meet the needs and exceed the expectations of today’s guitarists, this instrument sports two high-output Seymour Duncan® humbucking pickups—a crisp, clear JB™ bridge pickup and a rich, fat ’59 neck pickup for robust tone with highly dynamic articulation and harmonic balance. The volume control conceals a push/pull coil split to have even more tonal variations on tap while the No-Load tone control operates like a standard tone control from positions one through nine, removing itself from the circuit at position ten for transparent sound, letting the full natural voice of the guitar shine through. Play with confidence in the guitar’s tuning stability and intonation, thanks to the secure six-saddle hardtail bridge. The two-piece maple neck hosts 22 jumbo frets along with a pair of graphite reinforcement rods to resist bending and warping under environmental stresses. The speed neck profile and 12”-16” compound radius fingerboard are designed for warp speed playing, unhindered positional shifts and mile-wide upper register bends without fretting out.

As curvaceous as a high performance hot rod, Charvel’s San Dimas guitars are widely acclaimed for their sleek, bold style. A black hardware package, including a Charvel four-bolt neck plate, branded die-cast tuning machines and vintage-style flat string tree are matched to bodacious finishes inspired by the So Cal lifestyle. Designed to match high-octane sound with unparalleled performance, the Pro-Mod San Dimas Style 1 HH HT is decked out and rarin’ to rip it up in the studio and on the stage.
